Chen Chuan grabbed a handful of bait in his fingers and sprinkled it outwards. Ripples spread out in the pond, and golden-red fish shadows moved their fins and tails, quickly swimming over to compete.

He said, "Someone told me about Pure Essence, and because of the recent damage to the World Ring, a lot of Pure Essence has leaked out, so I was asked to do some testing with some people before."

Cao Guiqi said in surprise, "Pure Essence leaked?" He then shook his head, "It will be blocked up soon."

He sprinkled another handful of bait in his hand, handed the thing to Uncle Ding , and took a cloth from the latter to wipe his hands, then said, "Follow me." With that, he moved outwards.

Chen Chuan followed him outwards, walked to the pond's outlet, and saw a river meandering out. The bank was lined with lush green weeping willows, and a small, exquisite painted boat was parked in front of the embankment.

Cao Guiqi stepped onto the wooden planks and walked into the elegant seating area of the painted boat. He greeted Chen Chuan , then sat down. The servant waiting here immediately poured freshly boiled water into the teacups.

Uncle Ding also followed, instructing the servant to untie the thick mooring rope, and the boatman at the rear took a long pole and pushed off, and the painted boat slowly left the shore.

The painted boat drifted with the current, turned past a protruding sandbar, and the river in front gradually widened. The river water, reflecting the green shadows of the banks, stretched all the way to the inner lake of Mo Tie Mountain. Several egrets flew out of the forest, skimming across the water.

Cao Guiqi said, "Power groups and factions exist everywhere. If you're not in one, then you can't move up. After all, there are only so many paths and connections. If you're not one of their own, they won't actively give you anything."

As the boat moved forward, the scenery on the shore gradually shifted backward. He looked at the distant mountains like ink, and the scattered green shade in the distance, saying, "Actually, the new era is much better than the old times. In the old times, you wouldn't even have the chance to reach the entry point you have now.

I'm afraid you don't know, in the old dynasty, if you weren't a member of the Imperial Family, meritorious relatives, or a few high-ranking families, even those who were granted positions for generations still had to pay Marrow Tax Blood Tribute every year."

Chen Chuan pondered these words: "Marrow Tax Blood Tribute?"

Cao Guiqi said, "It's the literal meaning. Because a martial artist's Essence Blood and bone marrow can be used to prepare Drugs, refine pills, feed and tame exotic beasts, and Mutated Tissue can also be used to create various Weapon and implements, the Imperial Family listed this as tribute.

The Old Imperial Family did this, in addition to the above purposes, mainly to suppress and weaken the powerful clans outside the Imperial Family. Martial artists would inevitably damage their vital energy by doing this every year, so they couldn't gain momentum in martial power, and thus wouldn't threaten the Imperial Family and the Noldor meritorious relatives.

However, this method was initially very strict, but gradually declined later. Powerful clans found ways to use the Essence Blood and bone marrow of martial artists from the common people or those they raised themselves to pay the tribute, while secretly Gathering power.

Because of the legacy left by many past periods of change, there were still many large forces and major factions among the common people, and there were many outstanding talents among them. They had been exploited for a long time and had deep resentment. After the algae revolution, both of these became one of the main forces in overthrowing the Old Imperial Family.

After closing, Great Shun Government learned a lesson in this regard, and gave the bottom to close

Public, except for the thought, this is in line with his previous ideas.

Cao Guiqi said, "The establishment of the Great Alliance was not only Company and Government, but also several major factions participated. They have forces in Company and Government, and adhere to the same ideas. In terms of law, they are also members of the Great Alliance, so the resources they give are recognized by Company and Government, and they have to admit it."

He reached out, and Uncle Ding immediately came up and handed him something, which he handed to Chen Chuan . "If you really can't find a way, you can use this token to try the Refinement Sect.

But if you have a choice, you better not look for them, and this thing is just a stepping stone, it doesn't guarantee that you can join them, and even if you join, don't trust their words too much, just get what you need from them."

Chen Chuan took it and looked at it. It was a delicate wooden token with red tassels. It was very heavy in his hand. There were no words on it, but when he touched it with his hand, he could feel a lot of handwriting on it. He didn't look at it in detail now, just said seriously, "Thank you, senior."

Cao Guiqi solemnly reminded, "If you can't get what you want here, or can't get in, then you would rather lean towards Government than go the Company route."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Cao Guiqi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with emotion, "After the World Ring was sealed, Pure Essence didn't actually become less, but the way to obtain it became narrow, which has stuck too many people."

Uncle Ding suddenly said at this time, "Young master, have you forgotten about the Secret Storehouse? Maybe that can be tried too."

Cao Guiqi pondered for a moment, then nodded. He looked at Chen Chuan , "Regarding the Secret Storehouse, you can find a way to learn about it."

He paused before saying, "The Old Imperial Family plundered the world, and much of the resources they collected could not be used up, and most of them were sealed in the inner treasury. Later, when they retreated to the Convergence Zone, they took away a portion of it.

However, there is more than one inner treasury. There are hidden treasure troves in various places and even overseas. This is the retreat that the Imperial Family left for themselves.

In fact, not only the Imperial Family, but also the vassal kings of various places and even the old dynasties of foreign countries have established similar secret storehouses. Even the previous dynasties did the same.

Therefore, in the past few decades, there have been rumors of secret storehouses being found in various countries around the world and in Da Shun itself.

In the old times, the court and folk organizations have been looking for these things. Now, Government and Company are both encouraging to explore and find these things. If they can be found and handed over, the seekers can legally get a part of them."

Chen Chuan thought thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard similar rumors."

Cao Guiqi said, "There are legends of secret treasures everywhere, which are actually an extension of the Secret Storehouse. Every year, some forces and groups, as well as some cult organizations, stare at these places, and once there is definite news, Government and Company will also send people to find them.

If you have a chance to encounter those places, you can take a look, but there are many people staring at those places, and there may be preventive measures left over from the old times, so if you really have a chance, you must be as careful as possible."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Next, they didn't talk about this anymore, but sailed on the lake, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. When it was near dusk, the boat returned to the Mansion, and Chen Chuan also said goodbye and left.

After Uncle Ding sent Chen Chuan away, he came back and said, "I thought the young master would tell Supervisor Chen about that Secret Storehouse."

Cao Guiqi shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact location of that place, and the things inside are extremely dangerous. Moreover, that kind of thing is very likely inside, and the involvement is too great. Company and Government are staring at it, and even if I say it, it will only harm people."

Uncle Ding said, "I heard that that person has been looking for this place all these years."

Cao Guiqi said, "Then let him look for it. Even if he finds it, what can he do? The old towers have long become ruins and rubble, and it is no longer possible to piece them together again. Even if they are barely piled up, they will collapse with a push."

He looked at the sunset floating in the distance with his hands behind his back, "Uncle Ding , you have also seen it. After the Fissure separated, the Conquering Nation General of the old dynasty and his cavalry appeared, but they were blocked there by one person and did nothing else. The times are different, and what should be discarded should be discarded."

After Chen Chuan returned from Cao Family Manor, he contacted Wei Dong and Wu Han , preparing to ask them out for a meal. In a few days, after Zhao Ming wakes up and some remaining trivial matters are dealt with, he will return to Yang Zhi.

When Wu Han heard that he was inviting him to dinner, he introduced a restaurant he often went to, saying that it was lively there, and the owner was from Yang Zhi, and the dishes were definitely authentic.

Chen Chuan listened to him and decided on this.

The next day, he didn't let the special car and security personnel follow, and drove to this restaurant alone. When parking, he glanced around.

Dense information suddenly appeared on the Boundary Token.

Since contacting Safe Shield , various advertising messages, including advertisements pushed by large company like Green Pouch Jade Pavilion, have been directly blocked, and as soon as he looks at anyone, the person's specific Data immediately appears in front of him, including whether there is a criminal record or whether he is wanted.

After entering this street, at least one-third of them have this record, and it shows that most of them come from the same gang.

But this is the norm in Central City, so he didn't bother to care, walked into the restaurant, and after pushing the door open, his eyes turned and he saw that Wu Han and Wei Dong had already arrived. The two of them were sitting in a seat by the window, chatting there. When they saw him coming, they waved at him.

Chen Chuan looked at the two of them. Wei Dong was okay, he was in Wuyi Academy, and he could be seen every now and then.

He hadn't seen Wu Han for a few months, only contacted him on Boundary Token. Now he looks a little Tai Yi different from before. His Skin is darker, and he has some beard under his chin, which makes him look more mature. He walked up, the two greeted each other, and then sat down.
